To submit the report of the Head of Service (Housing).
Decision:
RESOLVED:-
· To note and endorse the recommendations from the ‘Housing Needs for local residents and Housing Solutions resulting from the Energy Island Programme Report’ (September, 2013);
· That the findings of the Report will inform the evidence base for the Local Housing Strategy and Local Development Plan, and hence the Anglesey Viable and Vibrant places bid;
· To consider the wider strategic and policy context for the Local Authority and support the actions outlined within the Report to plan appropriately thereby minimise risks and maximise legacy housing opportunities;
· To support that dialogue takes place with the developers with regards to the way forward and additional staffing capacity to take forward the recommendations within the Report;
· To note that early engagement with EIP developers is required and a commitment from those developers to identify and support solutions which deliver more than solely short-term accommodation solutions, if significant legacy benefits are to be delivered in the longer term;
· To note that the Council is likely to require support from local and national partners in discussions with the EIP developers and in developing the mechanisms to deliver the housing solutions.
· That the Head of Service (Housing) be requested to report back to the Executive on the provision of social housing/affordable housing on the Island.
